Note

The thing with problematic tech bros is, the ability to simply ignore the harmful parts of them, is a massive privilege.

To say “aside from his racist/sexist remarks,” is like say to minorities, “aside from the fact that he absolutely despises you,” - “his technology takes are good.” Just get out of my sight.

Are we, are you, so out of heroes to worship that you have to pick him? Is this tech take so incredibly illuminating that he and he alone, the chosen one, bear the message?

(yes this is a subnote about dhh)

I for one don’t think the tech industry lacks talents at all. I think there are plenty of not actively harmful people to listen to.
